Lexington council wants federal audit of area development district
The Urban County Council wants U.S. Labor Department investigators to audit the Bluegrass Area Development District’s use of federal workforce funds.
The Urban County Council will consider a resolution at its Thursday meeting asking the Office of Inspector General for the federal labor agency to audit Bluegrass.
Councilwoman Susan Lamb introduced the resolution Tuesday at a council work session.
Lamb said she thought the federal audit would get to the bottom of longstanding financial questions surrounding the agency, which serves a 17-county region that includes Fayette County. The agency is appealing an order requiring it to repay nearly $900,000 in federal workforce dollars that were found to have been misspent from 2010 to 2013.
